Building from the Defensive Third
Passing Option (2) for the Wide Defender
Positional Pointers:
If (# 7) wide midfielder is facing (# 2) right fullback, then (# 2) provides support in a deep position behind the ball.
If the wide midfielder (# 7) is able to turn with the ball and move inside, (# 2) provides support by means of an overlapping run.
A good indicator to gage where to support is by watching the midfielders head. If the wide midfielder have their
head down or facing the fullback, the fullback should hold in a deep supporting position behind the ball. If the
wide midfielder has turned and has their head up scanning the field, then the fullback should look for the
overlapping run and support in advance of the ball.
